i got these soft plastics, about 4 inches long and i dont know how to rig them. i try texas rigging but didnt get action with the tail like i wanted. would you just put a jig head on these or maybe drop shot them? i dont really know but what ever you think would work im ready to try.

thanks

Nose hook drop shot.

Yeaa they look good for drop shotting

Drop shot or a shakey head would be good.Whats baits are those.Kinda looks like mann's baits.

they are Case Plastics

when i drop shot , i use a small wide gap hook . i get 3 times better hook ups than by nose hooking !! so try a wide gap hook just big enough to provide clearance for the bait and you will be good to go . just don't put too big of hook on it that it impedes the action 

That's definitely a Jacks Worm  from Case Plastics, one of the all-time best river smallmouth baits. Rig that baby on a jighead and add a little life.

thats the name, i also bought some wacky jacks

Looks like a drop shot worm to me.

Have you tried a drop shot rig?

With the "nose" hook?

If not, give it a whack.

most stores that have a decent selection of fishing stuff will probably have them.

Most stores with a good fishing selection should have them. If not, I wouldn't worry about it. I've used split shots or whatever random weight I can find plenty of times.

Most dropshot weights I've seen only have two things going for them: a swivel to reduce line twist, and a clip you slide the line through so it will pull off easy in case of a snag. You could tie a swivel on if you're worried about line twist--in the end it's just weight at the end of the line.
